You might think your mind is sharp enough to remember where every nut bolt and wire went.. until you come to a point where you say fuck!!!!!.. and end up tear it down again for something simple you forgot to replace.
exactly what happened when i some shit apart of my motorcycle and then tried to put it back together months later

That's something I wouldn't mess with personally. Glass work I definitely take to a shop. Somebody here probably has some windshield experience though.

I don't think i should have said "replace windshield". I don't need to replace the windshield itself, just the weatherstrip

^weatherstrip is pretty straightforward. There should be a DIY in the 3G garage.

personally, i have had something like 20 windshields replaced in the beaters that ive bought to sell and it looks simple enough to replace. that being said, i can tell you i will probably never attepmt it myself. too much riding on getting it seated properly and sealed. plus you have to worry about scraping all the old shit out and if you scrape the paint off the metal and you dont touch it up, then you get rust. no thanks, seen it happen way to much.

You'll love em if you get em! For the kind of wheel you get, they are excellent value. Rotary forged is pretty good stuff.

So I've noticed. I posted that much because I was at work. I seriously only visit here when I'm home if I need info for something I'm doing to the car at the moment or if I'm extremely bored.

I post when I'm at work, it helps the day go by faster. Here lately, we have new management and I've been having to do a ton of extra bullshit. Plus, the addition of the new lady friend, I'm finding myself home less and less..
